    • Alan Michael Parker’s latest collection of poems, The Age of Discovery, is a work of enduring beauty, filled with his signature tenderness and surprise. Parker’s interests range from the Psalms to the Internet, from a woman stepping out her window to die to two men trying to learn how to live as they argue in a row-boat. With an eye on some of the greatest love poets (Amichai, Mistral, Neruda), Parker delivers a collection deep in empathy, rigorously attentive, and formallyinventive.In Parker’s poems, the time of day matters, as we move through dawn, dusk, and deep night. There’s often a knowing moon, an unknowable wisdom, and a relentless curiosity: he’s a poet who delights in imaginative play, too, with an abiding love of song and imagery. But we’re always smack in the 21st century in this new collection, with technology redefi ning the sublime, and the ever-present threat of loneliness—tempered, these poems suggest, by compassion andhumor.

    • Una historia de niños pequeños que crecen en medio de una guerra muy grande. “Wib no daba crédito a sus ojos cuando vio lo que las bombas habían hecho en la calle Paxton. La explosión había dejado un agujero en medio de la calzada capaz de tragarse un autobús de dos pisos. También se había tragado el juego de saltar pintado con tiza y arrancado la fachada entera de las casitas en hilera”. “Evacuación quería decir que te mandaban lejos, a lo mejor con un viaje largo, fuera de Londres. era una idea que asustaba. Hasta ese momento el viaje más largo que habían hecho era el recorrido de un autobús de cuatro peniques”.
